Rijad Alisic

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Division of Decision and Control Systems at KTH Royal Institute of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Henrik Sandberg and co-supervisor Prof. Karl Henrik Johansson. I successfully defended my Ph.D. Thesis on the Defense of Cyber-Physical Systems Against Learning-based Attackers in November 2023. I also defended my Licentiate thesis on the Privacy of Sudden Events in Cyber-Physical Systems in 2021. In 2022, I was a visiting researcher at The University of Melbourne, collaborating with Prof. Farhad Farokhi on Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems.

I received my M.Sc. degree in Engineering Physics from Lund University in 2018, specializing in automatic control and theoretical physics, where I wrote my M.Sc. thesis on control of the next-generation district heating systems, which you can find here. In 2017, I participated in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. I built an F1/10 car and implemented a trajectory planning algorithm based on LTL synthesis. You can see a short video from that project here. I also worked at the Department of Medicinal Science at Lund University from 2016 to 2018. I created a vision-based object tracking software that maps the movement of multiple zebrafish larvae in the same tank to study their social behavior and helped supervise students with related projects.

My current research interests are privacy, security, forensics, and control of cyber-physical systems.
